What's been your turntable ownership over the years?

Cool thread!

Early high school age:  My father's old idler wheel Rek-O-Kut built into a cabinet, with Audax arm and GE mono cart.

1976 - Technics entry level manual belt drive 'table with Stanton 500E cart.

1984 - one year out of college, big purchase for me then (I was not going to re-buy all my LPs as CDs, and I figured turntables would soon dissapear - ;-), a Thorens TD-166MkII with a second arm wand.  Still own & use it today, but was modded in 2010 (new footers, damping, and leads), with Ortofon OM-30 Super and Denon DL-160 carts.

I started with ''the best ever'' LP 12 and used with the wrong tonearm

(FR-64 S) for about 10 years. Then moved to P.Lurnes Audiomeca

J1 which was a kind of ''liberation'' from kneeling under the LP 12

for spring adjustments. Then got a  ''better Audiomeca'' namely

Kuzma Stabi Reference and added SP 10, mk2 as participant

in the DD contra-revolution. So in comparison with my carts

collection  very modest TT 's number.
